A
Triceratops brow horn discovered in Dawson County, Montana, has been
controversially dated to around 33,500 years, challenging the view that dinosaurs died
out around 65 million years ago. The finding radically suggests that
early humans may have once walked the earth with the fearsome reptiles
thousands of years ago.

The
Triceratops brow horn was excavated by palaeontologist Otis Kline Jr, microscope
scientist Mark Armitage, and microbiologist and avocational palaeontologist
Kevin Anderson, in May 2012, and two horn samples (GDFM 12.001a and GDFM
12.001b) were given to the Glendive Dinosaur and Fossil Museum in Montana. The
samples were then sent to the University of Georgia, Center for Applied Isotope
Studies for Carbon-14 dating, which yielded an estimated date of 33,570 ± 120
years for the first sample and 41,010 ± 220 years for the second.

Triceratops,
a name meaning “three-horned face”, is a genus of herbivorous ceratopsid
dinosaur that is said to have first appeared during the late Maastrichtian
stage of the late Cretaceous period, about 68 million years ago in what is now
North America, and became extinct in the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event
66 million years ago.

However,
scientists from the Paleochronology Group, a team of consultants in geology,
paleontology, chemistry, engineering, and education, who perform research
relating to “anomalies of science”, maintain that dinosaurs did not die out
millions of years ago and that there is substantial evidence that they were
still alive as recently as 23,000 years ago.

Until
recently, Carbon-14 dating was never used to test dinosaur bones, as the
analysis is only reliable up to 55,000 years. Scientists never considered it
worthwhile to run the test since it is generally believed that dinosaurs have
been extinct for 65 million years, based on radiometric dating of the volcanic
layers above or below fossils, a method which the Paleochronology
Group states has “serious problems and gross assumptions must be made”.

"It
became clear years ago that paleontologists were not just neglecting to test
dinosaur bones for C-14 content but were refusing to. Normally a good
scientist will be curious about the ages of important fossil bones,” Hugh
Miller, a research and consulting chemist and Head of the Paleochronology
Group, told Ancient Origins in an email.

The results
of the Triceratops Horn analysis are not unique. According to Mr Miller,
numerous C-14 tests have now been carried out on dinosaur bones, and surprisingly,
they all returned results dating back in the thousands rather than millions of
years.

“I organized
the Paleochronology group in 2003 to fill a void with
regards fossil wood and dinosaur bones as I was curious as to their age
by C-14 dating. We thus have used C-14 dating to solve the mystery
why soft tissue and dinosaur depictions exist world-wide. Our model
predicted dinosaur bones would have significant C-14 and indeed they did in the
range of 22,000 to 39,000 years BP,” Mr Miller added.

Numerous
independent researchers have long argued that there is evidence man and
dinosaur once walked the Earth together, such as hundreds of ancient artworks
and artifacts that appear to depict dinosaurs, long before modern science had
pieced together dinosaur fossils and conducted analyses to produce detailed
reconstructions of their appearance.

However,
even more intriguing is the discovery of soft tissue in dinosaur fossils. In
the March 2005 issue of Science, paleontologist Mary Schweitzer
and her team announced the discovery of soft tissue inside a
68-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex leg bone from the Hell Creek Formation in
Montana, a controversial finding considering scientists had thought soft tissue
proteins degrade in less than 1 million years in the best of conditions. After
recovery, the tissue was rehydrated by the science team and testing revealed
evidence of intact structures such as blood vessels, bone matrix, and
connective tissue.

More
recently, Mark Armitage and Kevin Anderson published results of a microscopic
analysis of soft tissue from a Triceratops horn in the peer-reviewed journal Acta Histochemica. Mr Armitage, a creationist, claimed that
the preservation of cells is a scientific impossibility if the dinosaur really
walked the Earth over 66 million years ago. On this basis, he opened a
discussion with colleagues and students about the implications of such a
finding being that the creationist perspective is correct and that dinosaurs
existed much later than mainstream science maintains, a move that promptly saw
him fired
by the University of California.

While the
Paleochronology Group says it is not “of any particular creed or denomination”,
there are undoubtedly those with creationist beliefs among the group, a fact
which critics may say could bias their results. Nevertheless, the group has
urged any and all scientists to replicate their results by carrying out
rigorous C-14 testing on any dinosaur sample.

“Every
sample tested yielded significant original Carbon-14 by extensive
cross-checking of their ages in bone collagen, bulk organics and
carbonate from bone bioapatite on AMS units and obtained concordance.
Thus, the overwhelming odds are that most if not all unpetrified or even
supposed petrified dinosaur bones in museum and university collections will
show the same result,” Mr Miller told Ancient Origins. “We urge therefore that
all those in charge of such collections see if they can replicate our findings.
The implications are immense.”

The
challenge, so far, has been met with rejection, and previous attempts to
publish C-14 test results were repeatedly blocked. Raw data without
interpretation was blocked from presentation in conference proceedings by the
2009 North American Paleontological Convention, the American Geophysical Union
in 2011 and 2012, the Geological Society of America in 2011 and 2012, and by
the editors of various scientific journals. The Center for Applied
Isotope Studies at the University of Georgia, who conducted ‘blind’ C-14 tests
on dinosaur bones, without knowing what they were, refused to conduct further
C-14 tests after finding they were testing dinosaur bones. Paleontologist
Jack Horner, curator at Montana State University’s Museum of the Rockies, who
excavated the Tyrannosaurus Rex remains that contained soft tissue, even turned down
an offer of a $23,000 grant to carry out a C-14 test on the remains.

“[T]he
public should be made aware that the discovery of soft tissue, C-14 in dinosaur
bones and dinosaur depictions world-wild renders current beliefs about how old
they are obsolete,” said Mr Miller. “Science is about sharing evidence, and
letting the chips fall where they may.”

While there
is a possibility that the C-14 test results were a result of contamination or
error, (even though the results were replicated and rigorous pre-treatments
were carried out by the University of Georgia to control for this), or are
perhaps due to some other factor not currently understood by science, it seems
reasonable to expect scientists to attempt replication of such groundbreaking
test results. Failure to investigate or even acknowledge such significant
findings unfortunately suggests that some scientists are more interested in
holding on tight to current perspectives, rather than seeking to advance
knowledge and understanding in this field.

I've noticed an increase in the defeatist
tone among activists lately. Many are realizing that the current system cannot be
salvaged, and they get angry at the lack of answers and give up hope. I've been
there. We all have.

Yes, the system is tightening its control as more people begin to see it for
what it is. Yes, mathematically and rationally, the system is nearing collapse.

But the fix will not be found with anger and predictions of doom, and the fix
will not come from petitioning a lawmaker, a regulator, or a sheriff. The fix
can only come from you.

It's true that it is nearly impossible to completely opt out of the system. The Matrix
is all around us, embedded in our very survival. However, that doesn't mean we
should not do what we can to limit our exposure to the decaying system.

The more you depend on a system you despise, the more you will
be hurt by it. Therefore, it's vital to find ways to opt out to protect
ourselves and our loved ones.

Here are ten ways to opt out of the system:

1. Stop Feeding It:

First, stop feeding the system. Stop
advocating that the government do your bidding. The very idea that government
should be powerful enough to do anyone's bidding is how the elite took it over.

You can also stop feeding it by boycotting corporations that do harm to
society. Finally, reduce your digital footprint. Giving Facebook your whole
life story is the same as giving it to the NSA.

2. Get Healthy:

Modern
medicine has become one of the most egregious pillars of control. Even if you
have foolishly overpriced health insurance, they require you to attend a
minimum number of "well visits" or they can deny claims later on.

It's a clever scheme to get you into the system as much as possible. The only
way to feel confident opting out is to get yourself healthy. Simple: eat well
and get fit.

Question: When GMOs finally get labeled, who
will make sure they are not wrong? The FDA? Don't make me laugh.

Growing your own food is the most effective and rewarding way to opt out of the
system. Get some chickens. Grow a garden. Learn to preserve food. What you
can't grow yourself, buy locally or in bulk quantities direct from the source
(i.e., wheat, barley, rice).

4. Become Your Own Bank:

This
might be the biggest secret on this list. Did you know that you can opt out of
traditional finance altogether?

You can be your own bank and benefit from compounding loan payments instead of
corporate banks. Oh, and it's tax free. What is it? Dividend-paying whole life
insurance. Before you groan, read this book.

5. Barter:

Dollars
are the system's fuel and its very foundation. Use anything but dollars wherever
you can. Do as much of your economic activity as possible with barter, or
off-the-books transactions.

Agorism,
sharing economy, and peer-to-peer opportunities are growing exponentially. Go
to the Craigslist "barter" category and engage. Use Bitcoin - open a
wallet and get some bitcoin
here.

6. Produce Something:

Make something of
value. Create something beautiful. Learn a new skill that no one can take from
you. It doesn't even matter if you sell or trade it, because just doing it for
yourself is making you more independent.

7. Homeschool Your Kids:

For
parents, this is by far the best step you can take to opt out. If you despise
the system, why would you expose your children to its indoctrination?

Public schools are temples of authority worship to promote a deliberate
agenda. The system may not be fixed in your lifetime, but at least
your children will be saved from its cult.

8. Don't Outsource Your Personal Security:

Let's
face it, some people will defend the militarized police no matter how much
violence they commit.

Scared masses have outsourced their personal security to a seemingly
unaccountable armed gang... and the result is a police state for everyone else.
Get fit and learn self-defense.
That way you don't have to demand that "authorities" protect the herd
like helpless livestock. [NI Ed Comments:
This does NOT mean buying and stocking weapons or ammunition – learn T’ai Chi
Chuan!]

9. Volunteer:

Stop
begging the government to take care of everything. If you want a better world,
go make it happen. The war on poverty is clearly not working.

The government criminalizing
feeding the homeless all over America should be all you need to know.
Disobey. Volunteer for charities, community or church events, or start your own
charity.

10. Move to an Undisclosed Location:

Last,
but not least, you can just about drop out completely by moving overseas or to an undisclosed location.

This can be accomplished, but it won't occur without some hardship. Leaving
friends and family behind may cause more pain than the system is causing you.
So you should do serious research and meditation before attempting this option.

Dropping off the grid abruptly will likely make you miserable. Don't feel like
you have to do everything at once. It's best to take small steps toward independence.

Pick a few of the ideas above that are possible within your current
circumstances, or the points that most resonate with you, and take action
immediately.

Mudras or
hand gestures is a practice to improve your physical, mental and spiritual
well-being.
In the Vedic tradition, the fingers of the hand represent the five basic
elements that make up the human body: air, wind, fire, mud, and water. Based on
this understanding, finger tips of living beings have many concentrated nerve
root endings which act as free energy discharge points.

On touching
the finger tips together in different ways or to other parts of the palm
channelizes and balances the flow of energy (Prana) within our body, and the
energy traveling through the nerves stimulates the various chakras. In
Sanskrit, mudra literally means a posture/seal and has been used in different
religions, art and dance forms, yoga and meditation for a long time.

In yoga,
using mudras in conjunction with Pranayama (breathing exercises), revitalizes
the flow of energy to different parts of the body. While Tibetan Buddhism, Zen
Buddhism, Theravada Buddhism and Mahayana Buddhism broadly use mudras during
mindful meditation.

Let’s take a
look at ten important mudras incorporated by Buddha on his journey to
enlightenment. You must have come across a Buddha statue somewhere in one of
these mudras. As mudras have healing benefits on the mind and soul, you
can generally perform these to instantly energise yourself.

1)Karana Mudra

This mudra keeps negativity at bay. To perform this Mudra, stretch your hand
either vertically or horizontally. Turn the palm forward. Now using your thumb
press down the two middle fingers and extend the index and little finger
straight upwards. Energy created by performing this mudra helps in expelling
negativity from your mind and soul.

2)Varada Mudra

This gesture signifies offering, welcome, charity, giving, compassion and
sincerity. It is a left hand gesture in which the arm is hanging naturally at
the side of the body and the palm facing outward, and the fingers extended.

3)Uttarabodhi Mudra

It signifies supreme enlightenment as it charges one with positive energy and
vibrations. The mudra helps one in staying connected with oneself and the
divine universal energy. In order to perform this Mudra, both hands are placed
at the heart; index fingers touching and pointing upwards and the remaining
fingers intertwined. Try holding the Uttarabodhi mudra for a couple minutes and
feel the subtle energy shift in your body.

4)Namaskara or Anjali Mudra

Namaskara mudra is used in Indian culture to greet people and as a sign of
respect. This Mudra is performed by pressing the palms together and holding it
to the center of the chest or the heart chakra; fingers
pointing towards the sky. The mudra evokes positive vibrations in the body
teaching us the fact that we are all one and we must acknowledge/adore the
existence of light in one another. This Mudra helps in staying grounded and
humble.

5)Vitarka Mudra

This mudra evokes the energy of teaching and intellectual discussion, or
argument. In this gesture tips of the thumb and index finger touch to form a
circle that creates a constant flow of energy and information. All the other
fingers are extended upwards. This Mudra gives us the energy required to attain
clarity of mind.

6)Abhay mudra

Abhay is translated as fearlessness. In this Mudra, the right hand is brought
to the shoulder level and the palm faces outward and fingers extend
upwards. History says that when Buddha was attacked by an elephant, he used
this mudra to stop the flow of negative energy (fear). This Mudra gives us
the energy to stand strong.

7)Dhyana mudra

This
mudra depicts absolute concentration in the process of meditation. Place both
your hands on the lap with the right hand placed on the left and fingers fully
stretched, palms facing outwards; thumbs of both the hands will touch creating
a triangle, cleansing of any impurities on an etheric level. Practicing this
Mudra will fill you with deep sense of peace and serenity.

8)Bhumisparsha mudra

Bhumisparsha translates to touching the earth where the mudra symbolizes the
fact that the earth witnessed Buddha’s enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. This
was the Hand gesture of Buddha when he accomplished Enlightenment. In this
Mudra, the right arm hangs over the right knee with the right palm turned
inward and the left hand is placed on the lap with the left palm faced upwards.

9)
Vajradhara mudra

In this
mudra the wrists are crossed, over the heart, with the right forearm placed in
front of the left one; this gesture symbolizes the highest energy and the union
of compassion and wisdom necessary to reach enlightenment. In vajradhara mudra,
one is free from judgement, notions, theories, fate, truth and any
concept that defines enlightenment; as they say, enlightenment is not defining
it.

9)Dharmachakra Mudra

Depicts the continuous flow of energy in the cosmos. Here the hand gesture
symbolizes the energy of the universe in the form of a chakra/wheel. Both the
hands are placed near the chest, the left palm faces the heart and right palm
faces outwards; index finger and thumb form a circle like Vitarka mudra. This
mudra represents the whole universe in a nutshell.

As
I mentioned before, these Mudras are used in the process
of mindful meditation. But at the same time one can practice these
mudras to gain the simple benefits of altering one’s state of consciousness and
staying positively energized.
